Should the Dallas Cowboys bring Ezekiel Elliott back?

[NDGAEDE]

This would be hilarious and I hope it happens.

Every day, every interview, every signing demonstrates to the world how clearly inept the Joneses are. Do it Stephen.show us who you are. Again.

No doubt, it's a bad move. The last two years he's averaged under 4 yards per carry. It isn't likely that it's going to get better at this point in his career.

I agree that it would not be a surprise, though.

But jersey sales? #15 this time around.

True ... that is what's important.

I'm not evaluating what Zeke may or may not have left. I don't care to what degree Zeke is a corpse.

With this first two statements- why even create this thread advocating for the Cowboys to go get Elliott?

 

[Mannix]

I wouldn't mind seeing Zeke again....who cares....this organization is toast! I'm at the point where I'd much rather watch Lance start every game and go 8-9, then watch Dork go 12-5 and then fart and fall down in a Wild Card Game. But what I really want to see is 0-17.

Zeke would be a step backwards.

.....to what we have brewing right now? We already heading backwards. Pride is going to be the complete undoing of this team at some point.....but the go to move will be to blame Dak.

If Zeke signed for the vet minimum, plus what we are already paying him anyway, then I’d be fine putting him in the RB room, not as a starter or even part of a tandem, but I’d be fine using him as a short yardage specialist and occasional blocker. If we get a rookie that can fill that role better than Zeke, then he becomes depth.

This here

At this point whata the step foward again?

I'm not advocating the Cowboys get him at all. My thread is to say I would not be surprised for the reasons I listed. Zeke is caput, in my opinion.

 

[gimmesix]

He has at least one good shoulder shake left in him.

Might can hurdle Vaughn.

I'm not evaluating what Zeke may or may not have left. I don't care to what degree Zeke is a corpse. He is on the good side of 30, available, presumably cheap, and a known commodity to the Cowboys. It has also been reported that Belichick blocked a Zeke/Dallas reunion last season meaning there is mutual interest. Dallas is already paying him $6 million in terms of a cap hit (is that right?). Dallas should be able to make him work based on money earned. I'm still convinced Roy E. Williams washes Jerry's car every week to make good on his contract but that is another story. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if Ezekiel Elliott ended up on the team next year.

Only if you have a time machine and he could be the Zeke of his first 2-3 years here.

 

[mattjames2010]

He's done.

Which means Jerry will sign him.

Oh man, it would be so hilarious watching the Ewok stumble over blades of grass for 2-yard runs again!!!!!

And yes, you are correct, we are carrying $6 mill in dead money this year on the cap for Zeke.

So, sign him for vet min and LETS GO

 

[Chasing6]

Zeke would be a step backwards.

And some of the guys we just passed on in free agency were not a step backwards?

 

[Cmac]

Someone is going to say give the ball to Deuce.

 

[MyFairLady]

If that loser ever takes another snap as a Dallas Cowboy I am officially done. Fat Zeke was a failure as a professional football player and a loser.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Better yet, why not just get a sack of potatoes to run the ball.

 

[noshame]

JERRY???

 

[JoeKing]

No, thank you. Zeke would be a step backward.

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

Dorsett?

I would go Emmitt before Dorsett due to age. I doubt he has that 99 yard burst anymore either.
